Sebastian woke up in a panic. The man looked around the bed and throughout the room. But unfortunately, Sebastian couldn't find Tera anywhere. Sebastian got out of bed quickly, the man went to the bathroom and found the room empty and clean. Sebastian walked into the study and didn't find Sebastian there.Sebastian left the room, several guards said that Tera had gone to the back garden with Nora. Sebastian let out a super relieved sigh after hearing that, the man went into the bathroom and cleaned himself.After showering and getting ready in a short time, Sebastian headed to the back garden. The man found Sofia, Nora and Tera playing in the park. The three of them were having a picnic and camping in the back garden. Nora played with dolls, while Tera fed Nora patiently and attentively, and Sofia was still building the tent which had been collapsing continuously."Come on honey, open her mouth" begged Tera," Aaaaa .. "Nora opened her mouth, the little girl ate the contents of the s
Sebastian went to the office in frustration, trying to persuade Tera multiple times, but her responses were not satisfactory. She simply said that she was tired after their intimate moment and just needed some time.For a whole hour, Sebastian held her on their bed, soothing every ounce of anger and other feelings. During that time, he wondered whether Tera was unsatisfied with their intimacy or if he had been too forceful.Thinking about it the entire way to the Trust Group, he stared out of the window with a grim expression. Tera had indeed taken control of his thoughts. The plump girl who had driven a public bus had always been a challenge and difficult to handle, forcing him to retreat and do whatever was right."You have a visitor," Wilson greeted as they had just exited the car.Sebastian's eyebrows raised spontaneously; it wasn't usual for Wilson to announce visitors this way. Wilson was an exemplary, polite, and always respectful employee. He was one of Sebastian's most truste
Sebastian entered a modest apartment on the outskirts of town. It was a humble place with two average-sized rooms. He entered awkwardly, not being accustomed to such a small apartment.On one of the nightstands, he saw numerous portraits of Viona. A beautiful, sweet, and adorable figure. Sebastian was always drawn to this type of character, especially petite, feisty, and charming. It was a type he couldn't resist, much like Tera.Sebastian reached for one of the photo frames, observing Viona's face, which hadn't changed a bit despite the passing years. Viona had grown, but she was still the same Viona he had loved. The girl he adored. The petite woman who always fascinated him.When they were in their early twenties, Sebastian and Viona met quite by chance. Viona studied at the same university as Sebastian, albeit a different department. They were both young Indonesians who crossed paths abroad, which meant their connection was established much faster than usual. Moreover, they were f
"Stevan, dear. This is...""Sebastian," Mr. Lim interjected, hugging Viona gently but formally. He stepped back to create a safe distance between them.Sebastian quickly approached Stevan, trying to prevent any explanations Viona might provide."I'm Sebastian, your mom's friend," Sebastian continued. He wasn't avoiding the situation; he just needed time to process everything. He was still in shock, and he couldn't allow Viona to introduce him as Stevan's father in this initial meeting. Everything needed time, including this.The eight-year-old boy stood at the doorstep, looking bewildered. His face was adorable and innocent, a well-raised child by his mother. Even though they had a modest lifestyle, there was no sign of a single mother raising him in simplicity. Stevan's bright eyes assessed Sebastian's outstretched hand, then went up and down to inspect the appearance of this unknown adult who dared to embrace his mother."I'm Stevan," the boy replied while shaking Sebastian's hand.
Tera had just finished putting Nora to sleep in the little girl's room. Nora's body temperature had returned to normal after all the efforts Tera had made. The little girl needed rest, understanding, and care from her parents to ensure her health wouldn't deteriorate again.Tera placed a basin of warm water on the nearby table and lay down on the bed to accompany Nora. She pulled the blanket up and gazed at the wall clock, showing 8:30 PM. Sebastian hadn't returned yet, but Tera didn't want to worry about him; her life was complicated enough without additional issues. She was almost dozing off when she heard the bedroom door open. Tera instantly turned her head toward the main door, finding Sebastian Lim standing there. He held a large bouquet of beautiful red and white roses.The bouquet was so large that it partially obscured Sebastian's body, making it difficult for him to enter the room."Why did you bring such a huge bouquet?" Tera exclaimed, sitting up in surprise. She gazed at
"Thank you, Daddy! I love you!"Tera looked at her husband in surprise, even though she could only support her chin while watching all the sweet scenes in silence.Sebastian was handing over a very large white teddy bear, much bigger than Nora's body size. A gift that made Nora's face flush with happiness and gave her Daddy a kiss on the cheek."Thank you for being Daddy's healthy and happy child." Sebastian replied, closing with a gentle kiss on Nora's forehead.Sebastian's eyes were filled with immense love and affection - so great that Tera and everyone in the dining room could see it from a distance. Moreover, a wide, very sincere smile appeared on the man's face, a rare smile that was rarely shown."Yes, Daddy! Is that flower for Ty Teya?" Nora asked. The little girl's finger pointed at the bouquet of flowers in Sebastian's left hand. A bunch of fragrant and beautiful red roses.'Yes, this is for Mommy."Ty Teya?""Yes, Mommy. She is Mommy. Nora learned to change her name?""But
Sebastian had just finished a video call with Nora. He couldn't visit his daughter at playgroup today due to important clients he had to meet. He placed his phone on the table and refocused on a stack of work waiting for him. Sebastian sighed wearily, this was the effect of coming home early and spending too much time at home; so much time had gone to waste lately. But it was fine since he was getting attention and affection from his wife and child."Excuse me, Da Lao Ban," Wilson cautiously spoke up."What's up, Wil? You better shut up if it's not important.""It's important, Sir.""Go on.""I just received word from the receptionist downstairs that someone is insisting on meeting you."Sebastian's focus was diverted from his documents. "And that someone is?""Viona Gunardi.""What more does that woman want? Didn't I give her what she wanted three days ago? Vang, right?"Wilson scratched his suddenly itchy forehead, responding hesitantly, "Se-She actually doesn't want money, but a jo
"Don't let Tera and Nora visit the office without warning, do youWilson handed Sebastian a bouquet of pink roses while nodding respectfully. The man hardened his expression and was unable to refute any of his Big Boss's orders - no matter how much conflict there was within Wilson because after all Tera was his former colleague and friend and Sebastian's decision this time was completely against Wilson's conscience as a friend."Yes, sir." Wilson answered briefly."Look, I know, you definitely don't agree with this decision..."'Uhm, I don't have the right to judge, sir." Wilson answered briefly."At least you agree on this!""I always agree with whatever decision you make."Sebastian ran a hand through his hair in frustration, he knew Wilson didn't really agree with him, especially since Wilson's eyes showed it so clearly. But it can't be helped, for now it is very difficult to refuse Viona and all her persuasions. Viona always brings Stevan into every sentence, even occasionally usi
